On the Needles Friday, Dec. 7, 2012

First I have to ask……………
HOW DID IT GET TO BE DECEMBER 7TH ALREADY?!?!?!?!

Okay, now that’s out of my system, let’s get to the needles.

It’s been a week of super-long workdays (10-12 hour days), so I haven’t gotten much knitting done this week. And last week all my free-time was spent sewing Christmas gifts.

I did manage to get one winter hat knit and a second well on it’s way:

And as I’m participating in a Winter TDF style spin for 12 days, I got my 12 minutes of spinning in almost every day:

And that’s ALL I got done! Perhaps next week, after things settle down at work, I’ll get more knitting time in! I surely hope so as I want to get my current shawl done so I can use it and I want to get started on my Craftsy class for the “Top Down Icelandic Sweater”. I’ve not done a top-down, knit in the round, steek it sweater before! Here’s the yarn I plan to use:

Please ignore the flash glare, I really don’t want to take these light colored yarns out of the protective plastic until I’m ready to start the sweater. Especially with everything going on here lately!
